Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Thought he was great tonight. He seems to be getting better and better, never gives an inch, quietly goes about his work. If he stays he's going to become a real cult hero. Just needs a song now.
Monk Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Improves the more games he plays. Was beaten by Anichebe a couple of times but it happens to the best of them. Timing of his jumps for headers has improved.
ottery st mary Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Yoshida My MOM...Great game..Unoticed by many.. Most Probably in the bar:rolleyes: Boruc Morgan Shaw ETC
Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 January, 2013 Author Posted 21 January, 2013 I like his attitude, quiet, but tough as nails. Got a few great defensive headers in today.
krissyboy31 Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Just needs a song now. I'll go first! To "House of the Rising Sun". There is a Back called Yoshida From the land of the Rising Sun, And may a striker tries to get past him And end up on their bum!
Saint Garrett Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Was absolutely superb. Will be a decision who plays at CB when Fonte and Forren are available.
Reynoldson!! Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Agreed, love me some Maya. On that note, has anyone noticed how massive his head is? Watch him when he stands near another player, it's phenomenally large. Also when you get the wider angle he almost looks like one of those bobble head toys. Massive head, just massive
Dig Dig Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Wanted to have a wrestle with Anichebe which nearly cost us but otherwise excellent. I've been impressed by day one, never realised that there was ever too much of a question mark over him?
saintstr1 Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Was absolutely superb. Will be a decision who plays at CB when Fonte and Forren are available. Any one know why Forren wasn't involved tonight ?
Dig Dig Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Any one know why Forren wasn't involved tonight ? Hasn't played since early December, needs a week of training under his belt.
niceandfriendly Posted 21 January, 2013 Posted 21 January, 2013 Yoshida is a cracking buy, seems to get better every game. How much did we spend on him?

I've been impressed by day one, never realised that there was ever too much of a question mark over him? Don't think there was. Took a bit of time to settle but reads the game very very well so rarely caught out of position. His distribution has improved a lot as well. And yes he's got a massive head
Alwightmush Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 Put in numerous important blocks tonight.
egg Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 He was superb tonight. His reading of the game is superb. Kind of a Japanese Paul Parker.
Saint_clark Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 He's very solid, but you can see he has limitations and I wouldn't expect him to last with us for more than a couple of years.
OldNick Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 I thought he was MotM, he quietly gets on with his job, never dives in. Very much in the Bobby Moore style of defending, calm and calculating. A superb long term buy IMO
Patrick Bateman Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 He's very solid, but you can see he has limitations and I wouldn't expect him to last with us for more than a couple of years. I thought he was MotM, he quietly gets on with his job, never dives in. Very much in the Bobby Moore style of defending, calm and calculating. A superb long term buy IMO hah! I love football and the varying opinions. For what it's worth, I thought he was excellent last night and has been getting better and better. As weird as this now sounds, our defence doesn't scare me; I feel Boruc will claim the ball, I feel calm that Clyne and Shaw will outpace the wingers and get back and make the crucial tackle/shepherd them away from danger and Yoshida does have a subtle strong quality about him. Fonte obviously been very good too, Jos has come in and done well. What a difference!

Turkish Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 the difference is that Im correct Patrick I'm with you Nick. Hes 24 so still young for a centre back and has improved every week it seems. He's looked an excellent signing so far and for the price a bargain. I must admit i was a bit skeptical about his signing as the team he came from has the worst defence in the Dutch league and appeared to be a bit of a last minute panic buy and his early performances didn't really convince me. BUt he's really looking the part now. In Forren and him we have two relatively young centre halves who look like they could form a excellent unit for years to come. What with our new manager being a full international in that position that can only help them as well.

Im sick of seeing our defence bullioed and find watching Clyne and Shaw bullying the attackers a nice change
ericofarabia Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 He won't get many bookings for dissent. Love the way he stays calm after dumping an attacker to the ground and is being berated by the ref, politely listens to the ref and then gets on the game. No screaming and ranting which is likely to incur a booking.

Thedelldays Posted 22 January, 2013 Posted 22 January, 2013 He is great. Got done a few times for pace by anichebe... But most will get that.
